Facts about Christmas

1. Did Mary ride a donkey to Bethlehem?
Perhaps, but there are various other possibilities. The Bible doesn't say how she got to Bethlehem. It only says that she came with Joseph.


2. Did Mary arrive in Bethlehem the night she gave birth?
The Bible does not suggest this. They could have arrived weeks earlier. God's Word simply states, "while they were there [in Bethlehem], the days were accomplished that she should be delivered" (Luke 2:6). Arriving in town well before her due date would make more sense.


3. Did Joseph or Mary talk to any innkeepers?
Perhaps, but there is no solid, biblical reason to believe that they did. Although innkeepers play a prominent part in many Christmas plays, no innkeeper is actually mentioned in the biblical record of Christ's birth. Furthermore, it is likely that Mary and Joseph actually stayed in a house with relatives, not behind some kind of Bible-times hotel.


4. Was Jesus born in a stable? Or a barn? Or a cave?
The Bible does not mention any of these three places in connection with Christ's birth, only a manger. Scripture simply reports that they laid Jesus in a manger because there was no room for him in the guest room. The Greek word used in Scripture is kataluma, and can mean guest chamber, lodging place or inn. The only other time this word was used in the New Testament, it means a furnished, large, upper story room within a private house. It is translated guest chamber, not inn (Mark 14:14-15). According to our Bible archaeology experts, Jesus was probably born in the house of relatives, but outside (under) the normal living and guest quarters.


5. "Away in a manger the baby awakes, but little Lord Jesus, no crying he makes." Although this is part of a beautiful song, we cannot be sure that Jesus did not cry. The Bible does not report this.


6. Did angels sing to the shepherds outside of Bethlehem?
Perhaps, but the Bible doesn't specifically say that the angels sang. It says that first an angel appeared and spoke, and then appeared "a multitude of the heavenly host praising God" (Luke 2:13).


7. Were angels present at the birth?
It seems logical to assume that they were, however, Scripture does not report it, and there is no evidence that angels were visible to Mary and Joseph at this time.


8. Did three kings riding camels come to Jesus' birth?

The Bible does not say that any kings or camels visited young Jesus.
Wise men riding camels.
It does report wise men ("magi") came, but it does not say how many. None of the early Church Fathers, suggested the magi were kings. Since the word "magi" used in the Bible is plural, there were apparently at least two, and there could have been more -- even several more. The Bible simply mentions three costly gifts they presented -- gold, frankincense and myrrh, but this does not necessarily indicate the number of magi. There is also no proof of what country these men came from.

Baby Jesus presented at Tempe.
Before the arrival of the magi in Bethlehem, Jesus traveled to and from Jerusalem for presentation in the Temple (Luke 2:21-22).

Also, the wise men clearly did not visit Jesus when he was still lying in the manger, as is commonly shown on greeting cards and in plays. The magi did not arrive until sometime after Christ's presentation in the Temple in Jerusalem (Luke 2:22-39).
Child - Jesus Christ.
At this time, Scripture calls Jesus a "child," not a "baby." It is possible that little Jesus was walking and talking by then. Based on the calculations of King Herod and the magi (Matthew 2:16), Jesus could been two years old or under.


9. Was Jesus born on December 25, or in December at all?
Although it's not impossible, it seems unlikely. The Bible does not specify a date or month. One problem with December is that it would be unusual for shepherds to be "abiding in the field" at this cold time of year when fields were unproductive. The normal practice was to keep the flocks in the fields from Spring to Autumn. Also, winter would likely be an especially difficult time for pregnant Mary to travel the long distance from Nazareth to Bethlehem (70 miles).

White Cross

last monday, we went to white cross. it's a company sponsored charity work for an orphanage. grabe, kakaaliw ang mga bata! they're super cute and kulit :D we really had fun :D wawa nga lang, nagkakaroon sila ng rashes. maybe dahil marami sila and nagkakahawaan. or maybe dahil hindi ganun naaasikaso ang bawat isa sa kanila. kung pwede nga lang mag uwi ng bata, haaaaay..


after ofc, bambi, leth and i had girl bonding :D pagsasaayos ng ascii eb programme at syempre, lots of girl bonding :D sobrang nag enjoy nga, 12am na kami naghiwa-hiwalay, at 1am na ako nakarating ng bahay.. super antok tuloy sa ofc, hehehe :D

i really need to detoxify myself, seems im so cluttered with stress and pressures.. haaaaaay...

it's my turn

nalipat kami ng pwesto and now im seated in front of my boss. e ang sakit ko, di ako tumatagal ng di kumakain. so di iilang beses na nakikita nya akong kumain, natural! at may instance pa na tinawag nya ako at saktong kakasubo ko lang! weheheh :D kahapon naman, halfday sya, di pa pala naglalunch. saktong pagpasok ko sa ofc nya e saktong subo naman nya, wehehe :D

wawa naman mga dolphins...

got this from an email, just can't help but post this. i'm really fond of watching dolphins, and was planning to watch this at MOA but this article is really an eye opener.



PAWS and EII (Earth Island Institute) had a meeting with the dolphin show organizer Movers and Shakers and SM Investments.

Here are a few things our representatives Trixie (EII) and Anna Cabrera (PAWS) observed in the travelling dolphin show facility:

1. The dolphins did not receive enough protection from the sun - the "roof" on top of the dolphin pool was just a net where the sun's rays passed through. At noontime and up to 3pm, it must be hell for these dolphins.
*At time this picture was taken (3.30pm), the heat wasn't so bad, as can be seen in photos

2. Dolphins swim in an 8ft by 12 meter tank. A size not even one ten thousandth of one percent of the marine mammals' normal habitat size

3. Sea lions were kept in pens only as big as their own body sizes. They were swimming around and around the small confined space. (at this point, Anna was told not to take anymore photos)

4. Dolphins and sea lions have five performances every single day. 11 am, 2pm, 4pm, 6pm and 8pm. The organizer advised that they have very few attendance in the 11 am and 2 pm slots because it was too hot for the audience. To think that the audience area was amply covered, while the dolphin pool only had a transparent net for a roof.


DOLPHIN SHOW FACT SHEET : WHY YOUR COMPANY SHOULD NOT SUPPORT THIS CRUEL SHOW

1. Source of dolphins used in marine shows: dolphins were captured from the wild and their families were killed in Japanese drive fisheries. Parents of the dolphins usually 'interfere' when the hunters try to take the young (trainable) dolphins so they are killed. (We have video footage of this, pls PM me if you want a copy. If you have a copy of the documentary "Earthlings, " similar footage is shown.)

Owners of dolphin shows perpetuate this kind of cruel hunting in the wild because they serve as the market for these hunters. Hence, those who are patronizing dolphin shows are indirectly also contributing to this trade.

Help us stop the killing. Don't Watch Dolphin Shows.

2. Dolphin shows (whether temporary or permanent facilities) are inherently cruel as they shorten the lifespan of dolphins as shown by numerous scientific studies. Dolphins in the wild live up to 50 to 60 years while captive dolphins, if they are lucky, live up to only an average of 15 years.

In Ocean Adventure in Subic, four whales under the age of sexual maturity have already died.

3. Temporary facilities such as traveling dolphin-shows are much more stressful for aquatic animals such as dolphins because they have to be moved time and again after their they have finished their show in a particular area.

If it is stressful to move terrestrial animals such as elephants, tigers, and lions for circuses, it is much more stressful for a dolphin to be moved as they have to be immobilized for the duration of the trip from one location to another. As you all know, dolphins never stop moving in the wild, but when they are moved, they have to be taken out of the water and put into hammocks which is like putting a straightjacket over the animal.

4. Temporary facilities for dolphin shows usually use CHLORINATED water in their tanks which will BLIND the dolphins over time. Temporary facilities, usually smaller than permanent facilities, tend to save up on changing and cleaning the water the dolphins swim on, that is why they use chlorine. The dolphins will also be urinating and defecating in this small space. Over time, you can actually say that these animals will be swimming in their feces.

5. The size of the tank at the Dolphin Show in Mall of Asia is 8 feet by 12 feet (as reported in newspapers). This is not even one ten-thousandth of one percent of marine mammals' normal habitat size. Dolphins swim for hundreds of miles in the ocean No wonder a lot of dolphins are driven to insanity in these types of facilities. This is the worst type of life imprisonment that a living creature can ever be subjected to.

*Clarification that SM wishes to put forth: The dolphin show is not a mall event and is actually not even technically located within the mall grounds but in SM Bay City. However, the event posters clearly bear the SM Mall of Asia logo (an error, according to SM Investments) .

after 2 weeks

almost 2 weeks ko ng di na-update itong blog ko. was really busy with things. last thursday, after suffering from severe stomach pain that week, i went to the doctor and found out that i'm suffering from acid peptic disease. ang cause daw nito ay nagpapalipas ng gutom. e palakain nga ako e, pano nangyari yun? anyway, bawal sa akin ang maasim at maanghang. pati iced tea e bawal. so tiis tiis muna, haay buhay. wish lang e tumaba sana ako dito, hehehe.

Fear

there are many things in this life
that brings fear to us

fear of the unknown
fear of what was expected to happen

fear of being alone
fear of being tied with someone

fear of being sick
fear of out-living loved-ones

but what does all this show us?
when we entrust ourselves with ourselves,
we can do nothing, we are nothing

and with this fear
we should replace this with faith
faith for what He can do for us
faith that He may not leave or forsake us

and this I pray,
"Lord, take all my fears away
leave in its place, a deep faith in You
a faith that may not waver
a divine fear that I may not wander
and Your light that may forever guide my path.
Amen."

21 - Earthquakes jolt Central Philippines

21 earthquakes on oct 21.. hmmm.. sana naman e magandang yanig ang dulot nito sa akin, hehehe

Saturday, October 21 2006 @ 06:58 PM BST Provincial Five earthquakes struck Central Philippines since Friday night, the latest of which was felt at around 11:45 a.m. Saturday, according to the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs). A magnitude of 5.2 earthquake shook Boac, Marinduque at 10:30 p.m. Friday, followed by at least 41 minor aftershocks. No casualties or damages were reported. Phivolcs said the first four quakes -- 10:30 p.m. Friday, 1:27 a.m. Saturday, 6:09 a.m. Saturday, and 10:53 a.m. Saturday -- had epicenters in the vicinity of Boac, Marinduque while the latest tremor which was felt at 11:45 a.m. today, with a magnitude of 3.8, was placed at 32 kilometers southwest of Lucena City in Quezon province with a depth of five kilometers. Intensity 5 was also felt in Batangas City and Bauan, Batangas; intensity 4 in Manila, Lipa City, Batangas and San Pablo City, Laguna. Intensity 3 was felt in Makati City, Puerto Galera, Oriental Mindoro; Talisay, Batangas and Lucban, Quezon while intensity 2 was felt in Quezon City, Tagaytay City and Guinayangan, Quezon. The earthquake was of tectonic origin and was traced from the movement along the eastern segment of Lubang Fault. Phivolcs however said it has not issued any tsunami warning in the coastal areas of Southern Luzon, as the recent earthquakes were not capable of generating destructive tsunamis. Tsunamis are usually generated by a quake magnitude of about 7.0, it said. Phivolcs expects aftershocks to continue in the next few days but not powerful enough to cause damage." The Philippines is part of the so-called "Ring of Fire" of volcanic islands along the western rim of the Pacific Ocean that sit on unstable earth plates and are prone to earthquakes. Phivolcs recorded at least 10 quakes everyday, but few are felt. (PNA) -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by Balita MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Back To Me

by Cueshe

Sometimes i feel like i'm all alone
Wondering of what have i done wrong.
Maybe i'm just missing you all along
When will you be coming home
Back to me?

There were times i felt like giving up.
Haunted by memories i can't give up.
Wish that i never let you go and slip away,
Had enough reasons for you to stay.

Can you feel me,
See me falling away.
Did you hear me,
I'm calling out your name.
'cause i'm barely hanging on
Baby, you need to come home
Back to me.

Sleepless nights,
'cause you're not here by my side
Cold as ice,
I feel deep down inside.
Maybe i'm just missing you all along
When will you be coming home

Can you feel me,
See me falling away
Did you hear me,
I'm calling out your name.
'cause i'm barely hanging on
Baby, you need to come home
When will you be coming home
Back to me.

sucker for men on white shirts

just discovered i was one... hmmmm

after 1 week

sept 28 nang dumating si Milenyo at nawala ang kuryente sa buong Metro Manila. kahapon, Oct 5 lang nagkaroon ng kuryente sa amin. swerte pa namin dahil may ilang bahagi pa rin sa aming lugar ang wala pa ring kuryente. haaaay buhay.. nagpapasalamat pa rin ako at hindi kami nahirapan sa pagtupad at pagsamba.

dito naman sa ofc e 2 days ng nagloloko ang power.. wed half day at kahapon whole day.. jurassic pa itong bldg namin kaya di kaya ng generator supplyan ang kanilang mga tenants.. hay life

kudos pag-asa! kutos to meralco!

manila was a direct hit by storm milenyo, and all praises to pag-asa. classes were suspended a day before. signal number 3 was raised in the metropolis. pag-asa's forecast that the storm will hit the metropolis at noon was accurate! hitech na ang weather forecasting ng pinas, sa wakas! but i couldn't say the same for meralco. unfortunately, 5 days after the storm, wala pa rin kaming kuryente. tama lang yung sabi ko na nasa ikapitong bundok kami ng tralala dahil walang signal, walang kuryente, walang phone lines, wala ring tubig (kakambal kasi ng kuryente ang tubig sa amin).. para tuloy kaming nasa liblib na probinsya, hehehe.. sana naman, magkaroon na ng kuryente sa amin within the day.

aside sa mga nasirang pagkain dahil walang ref, nagpapasalamat ako sa Ama dahil hindi Nya kami pinabayaan, at nakaligtas kami sa malakas na bagyong nagdaan. sa pagpasok ko sa office e nakita ko ang sangkaterbang billboards na nagbagsakan, ang iba ay sa mga bahay pa mismo bumagsak.

~~~~~~~~~~~

time tests true friendship. totoo ito, and in my case, sad to say, i had proven one of those that i call a true friend to be a mere acquaintance. sad to say din, na i proved twice na she's not that at all interested in me, but interested only in something that will be beneficial or will concern her. oh well, life's like that. at least, nakita ko na ang totoo nyang kulay.

draining week

i usually set aside at least one day of the week to attend to bible study sessions. but i'm usually able to attend 2-3 sessions per week. ito ang naging takbuhan ko sa mga panahong ito. but, because of my busy sched last week, i was only able to attend one session. then last saturday, dun ko muling naramdaman ang panghihina.. unti-unting nagbabalik ang lungkot at depression.. dun ko narealize ang kakulangan. at ang buting idinudulot ng pakikinig ng Kanyang katotohanan. totoo ngang hindi lang sa tinapay nabubuhay ang tao

brand new nokia 2310 for sale

baka may alam kayo naghahanap ng cellphone, im selling a brand new nokia 2310, may one year warranty pa, sim locked sa sun. P4500 lang po :D

isang linggo...one week.... one weak

one week delayed ang server namin, which means lost time for us. unfortunately, di nausog ang launch date ng project namin, since mismong CEO at COO ang nagpupush nito. so kayod to the max kami. more than one week na akong feeling tired. stressed kasi sa work, at di makabawi ng tulog since pati saturdays e may pasok kami. almost one week na rin na maaga ang pasok namin, 6am to be exact. sana pagtapos ng project na ito, pwedeng humirit ng one week na vacation :D

batch 2

may naalis na naman kahapon, isa sa amin, ewan ko kung meron pa sa kabila. kinausap din kami ng management dahil sa nangyayaring downsizing. napaka-assuring naman ng management sa status namin. may employment contract kaming hawak, na nakalagay na one month before kami iterminate ay iinform kami. then may makukuha kami, one month per year. karamihan sa amin ay wala pang 1 year. ira round off na daw yun to 1 year. stable nga (daw) ang company.

what is with yesterday?

i dont know what it is with yesterday, tuesday, aug 22. it was the first working day after a long weekend. most of the people at work are in a not-so-lively-and-jolly mood. karamihan ay tinatamad, may malungkot din dahil sa lovelife. nakabangga ko rin nung umaga ang mejo maepal kong prog. ang worst e yung binalita ni ela, na naconfirm ko ngayon. nagbawas ng tao dito, at may 2 na nabawas sa dept namin. cost-cutting, downsizing ang ginamit na term. nakakagulat. nakakabigla. samantalang noon ay panay ang assurance nila na stable ang company. e ano ito? nakausap ko ang frend ko sa seattle ofc, nagbago daw ng management. kaya marahil magbabago daw ng galaw ang kumpanya. di ko ngayon alam kung ano ang patutunguhan namin, kung may susunod pa bang tatanggalin o ano.

~~~~~~~~~

nagkakaphobia na ata ako sa cubao. 2x na ako nainjan. isa nung nakaraang linggo. kausap ko pa yung imimit ko ng after lunch. sya pa nagrequest na kung pwede ay agahan namin. dumating ako ng 30mins earlier sa usapan, maaga. kaso, anong oras na ay wala pa rin sya. umalis na ako ng sumagot sya sa text. may sakit daw sya at di makakapunta. sana kako ay sinabi na nya nung magkausap, ng niresched na lang at para di sayang ang oras, pagod at pamasahe.

pangalawa kagabi. di ko inaasahan na iinjanin nya ako dahil dati na naman kaming nagkikita. past 5pm ay nandun na ako, 6pm pa ang usapan. tinext ko na sya na andun na ako para dumerecho na sya paglabas nya ng trabaho. 6pm ay nagtext pa sya na nagreredi na sya. (dapat ay nakaalis na nga sya ng oras na yun.) past 7pm na ay wala pa rin sya, at sa kabila ng sangkatutak kong text at miskol e di sya nagpaparamdam. nagpasya akong umalis na. nasa mrt na ako ng tumawag sya. nagkaroon daw sila ng mtg ng 530pm. parang magulo ata yun. kaya sabi ko e iresched na lang nya. ang gusto nya ay hintayin ko pa sya, pero sobrang pagod at inis na ako. may kukunin syang panregalo sana sa araw na ito, sinabi ko na sabihin na lang kung kukunin pa o hindi na, pero hindi ko na maibibigay yun sa kanya kagabi.

nakakainis kung bakit may mga taong hindi marunong magpahalaga sa panahon at oras ng iba. ang pera ay madaling maibalik, pero ang oras na nawala, di mo na kailanman maibabalik yun.

accomplished men

im currently an avid viewer of Moms, QTV-11 mom talk show. last thursday, their topic was about Takusa. ang sabi ng isang guest, i think it was PJ Abellana, na accomplished men dont want arguments at home. kung baga, no need to assert himself kasi proven na ang kaya nyang gawin.. hmmm.. makes me think, kaya ba the men i meet are masyadong assertive because wala pa silang napapatunayan sa sarili nila? POVS? :D

Alive by Frio

Tomorrow never comes
The day will end today
You come to change the truth
Forget it anyway

I"ll never be a man
So take it as i am

Make me alive
Make me suffer
Make me feel

Make me alive
Make me suffer
Make me feel

Just leave me in the rain
My life is in the drain
I"ll seek your love forever
I beg not a different game

I"ll never be a man
Embrace me as i am

Make me alive
Make me suffer
Make me feel

Make me alive
Make me suffer
Make me feel

Alive...
Alive...

Blue Sky

Hale

When do stars fade their light?
Does the moon and the sun make it right
For you the world maybe
Like an endless storm chasing a mystery

Is there hate in your heart?
Does your body drop and tell you to stop
Loving you or loving me
When it all falls down you just sing with me

Coz there's a blue sky waiting tomorrow
Waiting tomorrow shining and shimmering
A blue sky waiting tomorrow
Waiting tomorrow
Maybe it's all we need

Oh don't you wash away that smile
You just look out the window and see the light
It's beautiful to be alive
It's wonderful to live a life

The sun is sure to shine
For you and me for everyone
So don't be sad it's just the start
Of a new beginning in your life

Rain will keep on pouring
Some things you can't control
And while the sun seems far and hard to hold
It will unfold

There will always be a blue sky
A blue sky waiting tomorrow


~~~~~~~~

the joker in me has come back to life! :D

Ocean Deep

Love can't you see i'm alone
Can't you give this fool a chance
A little love is all i ask - a little kindness
In the night
Please don't leave me behind
No - don't tell me love is blind
A little love is all i ask and that is all

Oh love i've been searching so long
I've been searching high'n'low
A little love is all i ask - a little sadness
When you're gone
Maybe you need a friend
Only please don't let's pretend
A little love is all i ask and that is all

I wanna spread my wings - but i just can't fly
As a string of pearls and pretty boys go sailing by

Ocean deep - i'm so afraid to show my feelings
I have sailed a million ceilings - in my -
Solitary room
Ocean deep - will i ever find a lover
Maybe he has found another
And as i cry myself to sleep
I know this love of mine i'll keep - ocean deep

Love can't you hear when i call
Can't you hear a word i say
A little love is all i ask
A little feeling when we touch
Why am i still alone?
I've got a heart without a home
A little love is all i ask - and that is all

I wanna spread my wings - but i just can't fly
As a string of pearls and pretty boys go sailing by

Ocean deep - i'm so afraid to show my feelings
I have sailed a million ceilings - in my -
Solitary room
Ocean deep - will i ever find a lover
Maybe he has found another
And as i cry myself to sleep
I know this love of mine i'll keep - ocean deep

I'm so lonely lonely lonely...
Maybe..

my my my

not really in the mood today after what happened earlier, kaya eto, pampagana muna :D



haay, super cute nya talaga *lovesigh*

not my day.. :(

-- 730am time in ko to talk to our counterparts in seattle, but may gumagamit ng phone sa ofc ng boss ko, so nag AIM na lang ako.. sad to say, parang di pa naging maganda takbo ng usapan namin ng kausap ko :(

-- accidentally nasipa ko avr ko, at di ko nasave chat logs namin :((

parang tinatamad tuloy ako magwork.. nagmimeeting ngayon boss ko sa mga bossing sa seattle, sana naman maging ok ang usapan.. after ng nangyari kagabi, kakatakot, huhuhu :S

pagkatapos ng mahabang pag iisip...

after long contemplations, mahabang pag iisip, maraming pagsasangguni, ginawa ko na ang isang bagay na dapat ay matagal ko ng ginawa.. ewan ko ba, noon ay mas mabilis ako magdecide, ngayon ay nahihirapan ako.. pero buti na lang, naisagawa ko na at gumaan na ang dibdib ko. i can now move on and enjoy what the future holds :D

iyakin

i dont know, but lately, nagiging iyakin ako.. i dont know if nagiging masyado lang akong senti or what.. howell.. anyway, this sms i received from a friend certainly made me smile :)

bawat luha ay mahalaga
kaya siguraduhin mong bawat pagluha
ay sa karapat dapat na tao
dahil ang luha kapag tumulo
ay di na maibabalik sa mata

di tulad
ng sipon

na pwedeng masinghot pa

2. looks on every worship service with more anticipation, lists down verses i can draw strength from.
3. conscious about how i look.

sekretarya

may 730am meeting kami and kelangang 7am e nasa ofc na. dumating ako ng 657, buti na lang at naging ok ang byahe kahit mejo matagal makasakay ng bus. kaya lang, super inaantok na ako, bukod pa sa may super namimiss.. lalo tuloy gusto ko ng umuwi

after ng meeting, nag usap usap pa kami. sabi ba naman ng isang kasama ko, "sa susunod, pag magprint ka e ipagprint mo rin kami" pertaining to the docs na pag uusapan sa meeting. e haller! nasa email naman yung doc, pinrint ko lang. feeling ata nya sekretarya nya ako, pasalamat sya at mabait boss ko, binalik man sa kanya yung sinabi nya e di sya pinahiya, hehehe :D i really love my boss :D parang naniniwala na tuloy ako sa mga wento ng ibang tao dito at baka magkaproblema nga ako sa paghandle sa kanya..

bus incident

this happened last friday nung pauwi na ako. sa bus e ayaw kong maupo sa gitna ng pangtatluhang silya, maliban na lang kung ako yung pangatlong uupo at yun ang bakanteng pwesto. nagkataong nakaupo ako sa pangtatluhang silya at may nakaupo na rin sa may bintana. may sumakay na ale, ang gusto nya ay uurong ako sa gitna at sya ang uupo sa labas, pinadaan ko sya para makapasok sa gitna dahil ako naman ang nauna at natural, first come-first serve ang upuan sa public transport. masama ata ang loob nya na di ko sya pinagbigyan, napansin kong hindi sya nag aabot ng bayad nya sa kundoktor. tatahimik na lang sana ako, kaso tinutulak nya pa ako pausog na para bang gusto nya ako ihulog. ng makarating sa toll gate, tinanong ko ang kundoktor..

me: hindi ho ba kayo kulang ng isa? (hawak hawak ko ang tiket ko, na kinuha ko pa sa pagkakasuksok sa gilid ng upuan sa harap, baka kasi kunin pa ito ng ale at angkinin e, hehehe)

kundoktor: kulang na?

me: tiket. baka ho may hindi pa nagbabayad

umiling lang ang kundoktor

me: di pa ho nagbabayad tong katabi ko

kundoktor: (napatingin sa katabi ko, obyus na minukhaan) di bale, maagang pamasko ko na lang sa kanya yun

pababa na ako nun ng bus. ang ale, di nakatiis, nagsabi ng "pakialamera" sa akin, pero di na ako lumingon pa. kung siningil man sya ng kundoktor o pinagtinginan ng ibang pasahero e wala na akong paki


~~~~~

still bc.. kahapon e start na ng 4-day half-day training namin. kanina naman e wala pang 830 ay abala na ang lahat.


~~~~~

i dont know if i made the right decision. this idea came to me when i was taking a bath early this morning. anyway, bahala na ang Ama. alam ko namang di Nya ako pababayaan.

Matthew 7:7-8

Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.

Mat. 7:7-8

Funny how I was thinking of this verse yesterday morning but dont know the exact verse, and this was read by our minister yesternight during our panata. Ninong Daddy talaga :D

What's Your Power Color?

a blessed weekend

sabado: naatasan ako ng aming pastor na pumunta sa pasig upang dumalo sa locale coordinators' meeting ng AsCII. ako ang ginawa nyang locale coordinator sa aming lokal at naatasan ding buuin ang AsCII sa aming lokal. naging maganda naman ang resulta ng pagpupulong. doon ay muli kong nakita ang 2 taong namimiss ko, ang aking daddy at ninong. sa gabi ay back lesson ng aking akay. naging matagumpay at mabiyaya ito.

linggo: tupad ni mom ng umaga kaya maaga akong nasa kapilya, sinamahan ko kasi sya upang magbihis ng saya. dahil hindi ko naman tupad sa oras na iyun ay minabuti kong mag-opisina sa kalihiman upang gawin ang ibang bagay na aking gagawin mamyang hapon. mamya kunti ay dumating ang aking tatay-tatayan na bantay kapilya at nakipagkwentuhan. pagkatapos mag-opisina ay naghugas ako ng kamay sa banyo sa loob ng opisina. nang ako ay nasa loob ng banyo ay may nagsalita sa labas. inakala kong si tatay yun at dahil di ko naintindihan ang sinabi nya ay sinabi kong "Po?" sabay labas na rin ng banyo. nagulat ako dahil hindi pala si tatay ang tao sa labas. di ko namalayang pumasok sya, at marahil ay nagulat din sya ng makita ako at ang tanging nasabi ay "Ay" at nagpatuloy sa pagbabasa sa bulletin board ng aming tanggapan. ako naman ay kinuha ang suklay at nagbalik sa banyo upang mag-ayos at maghanda sa pagsamba. paglabas ko ay wala na rin sya sa opisina. nang ako ay pumasok sa kapilya ay nakita ko syang nakikipagkwentuhan sa ibang scan na tumupad. inakala ko pa ngang isa syang diakono, hehehe. pumasok ako at nakipagwentuhan sandali sa mga kalihim na tumupad.

pagtapos ng pagsamba ay nakakwentuhan ko si wenz. pagkauwi ay nakapag-agahan pa ako kasama ng aking ina bago muling nagbihis upang manundo ng mga bata. toka kasi ng aming departamento sa panunundo para sa pnk. naging maganda naman ang resulta ng aming panunundo. nagpunta kaming muli sa kapilya pagkatapos upang magsabi sa aming pangulo ng nangyari sa aming panunundo. bago umuwi ay dumaan ako sa bahay ng pastor at binati sya sa kanyang kaarawan.

gabi ay muntik ng mahuli ang aking akay sa pagsamba. dumating sya sa ikalawang awit na. pagkatapos ng pagsamba ay sinamahan ko syang dumalo sa pulong ng buklod. maganda ang naging tema nila, "Controlling your anger before it controls you". pagkatapos ay nagpunta kami sa likod para sa kanyang pre-screening. di agad nasimulan ang pre-screening dahil nagkaroon muna ng kaunting salo-salo at kasiyahan para sa kaarawan ng aming mahal na destinado. nagkaroon din ng pagkakataon upang makapagkwentuhan sa mga maytungkulin na nandun, tulad ng aking ate at katukayo. habang naghihintay e lagi kaming nagkikita ngunit hindi ko sya pinapansin. hindi ko nga alam kung ako yung nginitian nya sa opisina ng ilaw, pero di ko pa rin yun pinansin. syempre pa, pumasa ang aking akay sa kabila ng kaba na kanyang nararamdaman.

katakawan

i have a 730am meeting today. this was scheduled but unconfirmed yesterday and was just confirmed this 6am. so i wake up the usual time, and planned to just skip breakfast to arrive on time. but my mom bought puto and suman for breakfast and i can't just resist the temptation, so instead of preparing to go to work early, i ate to my heart's content, hehehe... when i arrived at the bus stop, the bus is already loaded and i have to wait for the next bus. after getting off the bus, i still need to cross a train station to the jeepney stop. unfortunately, a train just passed and is dropping off passengers, so the intersection was blocked. good for me, i'm just around 15minutes late. and my boss just arrived a sec earlier before me, hehehe :D

can somebody give me the title of this song? :D

GOODBYE
by: Juana
from the album: Misbehavior


Didn't mean to hurt you badly,
Don't think that I am fooling around with you
So sorry for the time you've wasted on me,
So sorry for the things that you've went thru
But I know that the problem's within me,
You're so nice but your love don't deserve me
Or maybe I'm just so scared to fall in love again

I can still remember the days
So many times I've been hurt
So much trust I put on a relationship
So much suffering I brought and the pain still remain
You know I like you but I don't wanna take the risk
So confused and I don't know how to deal with it
I need sometime for a while before I give my heart away

Don't say goodbye
Don't say goodbye
I need sometime for awhile before I give my heart away

Don't say goodbye
Don't say goodbye
I need sometime for awhile before I give my heart away

Now I know I wasn't thinking before
That's why I'm always ending up with Mr. Wrong
Learning form the past, don't wanna make mistake,
You could be Mr. Right or could be a fake
You know I like you but I don't wanna take the risk
So confused and I don't know how to deal with it
Need sometime for awhile before I give my heart away

Don't say goodbye
Don't say goodbye
I need sometime for awhile before I give my heart away

Don't say goodbye
Don't say goodbye
I need sometime for awhile before I give my heart away


thanks to ivy for the title of the song, it surely fits what i want to say *sigh*.... anyways, i know that He will provide a good husband to me (Prov. 19:14)

Life's Simplest Pleasures

as an answer to ivan's tag, here it is :)

Instructions: Name ten (10) of life’s simple pleasures that you like the most, then pick ten (10) people to do the same. Try to be original and creative and not to use things that someone else has already used.

1. cool shower with running water (de oras kasi tubig sa amin)
2. sound peaceful sleep
3. bonding with mom (watching tv, malling)
4. chatting on the phone with a long-time friend
5. having a day off at work
6. accomplishing something at work (contradicting sa number 5 e, weheheh :D)
7. cooking and eating
8. bonding with my small group of barkada
9. being able to enjoy a sport (marunong lang, nde player talaga)
10. buying a pair of shoes that really fits (mahirap kasi makasundo ng sapatos paa ko e :( )

who i'll tag? yun na lang mga frequent readers ng blog ko *teehee*

kapilan daka malyaring pakisabyan?

thanks to handsomest for giving me the correct translation :) i dont know if i had delivered this right, but at last, nagkausap din kami. i know this is His will since He has given the chances for me to ask this to him. i was hesitant at first but grabbed the next opportunity that comes my way. and after a long while, the wait-and-see period is finally over. all i can say is thanks for being honest :)

Alipin

Shamrock

di ko man maamin
ikaw ay mahalaga s akin
di ko man maisip
sa pagtulog ikaw ang panaginip

malabo man ang aking pgiisip
sana'y pakinggan mo
ang sigaw nitong damdamin

chorus:
ako'y alipin mo kahit hindi batid
aaminin ko minsan ako'y manhid
sana ay iyong naririnig
sa 'yong yakap ako'y nasasabik

ayoko sa iba
sa yo ako ay hindi magsasawa
ano man ang yong sabihin
umasa ka ito ay diringgin

madalas man na parang
aso at pusa giliw
sa piling mo ako ay masaya

ako'y alipin mo kahit hindi batid
aaminin ko minsan ako'y manhid
sana ay iyong naririnig
sa 'yong yakap ako'y nasasabik

pilit mang abutin ang mga tala
basta sa akin wag kang mawawala...

ako'y alipin mo kahit hindi batid
aaminin ko minsan ako'y manhid
sana ay iyong naririnig
sa 'yong yakap ako'y nasasabik

pagkat ikaw lang ang nais makatabi
malamig man o mainit ang gabi
nais ko sanang iparating
na ikaw lamang ang aking iibigin


i wish this is his song for me *sigh*

Dahil Ikaw

True Faith



Sa piling ba niya ikaw ay may lungkot na nararamdaman
Damdamin mo ba ay di maintindihan
At sa tuwing ako ay nasa iyong isipan
May nakita ka ba na ibang kasiyahan
Nandito lang ako
Naghihintay sa'yo na mapansin ang aking damdamin
Na para lang sa'yo
Hooh….

Dahil Ikaw lang sigaw ng puso ko
Ikaw lang nasa isip ko
Ang nais ko ay malaman mo
Na ikaw ang tanging pangarap ng buhay
Pag-ibig ko sayo'y ibibigay
Ang nais ko ay malaman mo
Na mahal kita

Sa piling ba niya ikaw ay maysakit na nararamdaman
Damdamin mo ba ay sinasaktan
At sa tuwing ako ang nasa iyong panaginip
Na tayong dalawa’y masayang magkapiling

Nandito lang ako
Naghihintay na mapansin ang aking damdamin
Na para lang sa'yo
Hooh….

Dahil Ikaw ang sigaw ng puso ko
Ikaw ang nasa isip ko
Ang nais ko ay malaman mo
Na ikaw ang tanging pangarap ng buhay
Pag-ibig ko sayo'y ibibigay
Ang nais ko ay malaman mo hmmm…
Na mahal kita

Sana’y pagbigyan ang nadarama nito
Sana’y masabi mo na mahal mo rin ako

Dahil Ikaw ang sigaw ng puso ko
Ikaw ang nasa isip ko
Ang nais ko ay malaman mo
Na ikaw ang tanging pangarap ng buhay
Pag-ibig ko sayo'y ibibigay
Ang nais ko ay malaman mo hmmm…
Na mahal kita

(Ikaw ang sigaw ng puso) Na mahal kita..
(ikaw ang nasa isip ko) Na mahal kita..
(ikaw ang sigaw ng puso) Na mahal kita..


i thought that this song is just available in Piolo and Juday's telenovela, meron pala talagang ganitong kanta :D

bituin sa mayo

i can relate to this song.. is my current situation my destiny? funny how i've been into this wait and see period for some time now, me who is not known for patience, but for being restless.. hopefully, the end of this period is near...

Bituing Walang Ningning
Originally sung by - Sharon Cuneta
Re-make by - Sarah Geronimo


Kung minsan ang pangarap
Habambuhay itong hinahanap
Bakit nga ba nakapagtataka
'Pag ito ay nakamtan mo na
Bakit may kulang pa


Mga bituin aking narating
Ngunit langit ko pa rin ang iyong piling
Kapag tayong dalawa'y naging isa
Kahit na ilang laksang bituin
'Di kayang pantayan ating ningning


CHORUS 1
Balutin mo ako ng hiwaga ng iyong pagmamahal
Hayaang matakpan ang kinang na 'di magtatagal
Mabuti pa kaya'y maging bituing walang ningning
Kung kapalit nito'y walang paglaho mong pagtingin


CHORUS 2
Itago mo ako sa lilim ng iyong pagmamahal
Limutin ang mapaglarong kinang ng tagumpay
Sa piling mo ngayon ako'y bituing walang ningning
Nagkukubli sa liwanag ng ating pag-ibig


[Repeat 2nd Stanza]
[Repeat CHORUS 1]
[Repeat REFRAIN 2 except last line]


Nagkukubli sa liwanag at kislap ng ating pag-ibig

Narda

Kamikazee

Tila ibon kung lumipad, sumabay sa hangin akoy
Napatingin
Sa dalagang nababalot ng hiwaga.
Mapapansin kaya sa dame ng yong gingawa
Kung kaagaw ko ang lahat may pag asa bang makilala ka

Awit na nananawagan, baka sakaling napakikinggan,
Pag ibig na palaisipan sa kanta na lang idaraan
Nag aabang sa langit, sa mga ulap sumisilip
Sa likod ng mga tala,kahit sulyap lang darna

Ang swerte nga nman ni ding, lagi ka nyang kapiling
Kung ako sa kanya niligawan na kita
Mapapansin kaya sa dame ng yong gingawa
Kung kaagaw ko ang lahat may pag asa bang makilala ka

Awit na nananawagan,baka sakaling napakikinggan,
Pag ibig na palaisipan sa kanta na lang idadaan
Nag aabang sa langit, sa mga ulap sumisilip
Sa likod ng mga tala,kahit sulyap lang darna

Tumalon kaya ako sa bangin,para lang iyong sagipin
Ito ang tanging paraan para mayakap ka
Darating kayasa dame ng ginagawa
Kung kaagaw ko sila paano na kaya?

Awit na nananawagan,baka sakaling napakikinggan,
Pag ibig na palaisipan sa kanta na lang idadaan
Nag aabang sa langit, sa mga ulap sumisilip
Sa likod ng mga tala,kahit sulyap lang darna

Nag aabang sa langit, sa mga ulap sumisilip
Sa likod ng mga tala,kahit sulyap lang darna

we each have our own darna na tinitingala...

Hello

Ogie Alcasid

Hi, hello, its nice to see you again,
I didn't quite expect this..
I don't know wat to say,
Seems so strange to see u standing there
Thought u left forever now u reappear
Yes I know its been a long long time
and yes we left on a sad one note
that let two has said goodbye
but here we are my heart beats once again..
is this a new beginning what can I say
well hello…..

You Win The Game

You Win The Game
Mark Bautista


You treat me so bad, you always do
i get so down but when i think of losing you
i'd rather be here

If you took the chance on me to stay
i'll never let you get away
so won't you treat me to your heart

[chorus]
You win the game, you have no shame
but it only makes me want you more
you win the game, you are to blame
(when/coz) it only makes me want you
only makes me want you more

You, I cant find the words to let you know
that i'll never let you go
i'll hold you tight to show you
oh, what i really mean, yeah

[chorus]
You win the game, you have no shame
but it only makes me want you more
you win the game, you are to blame
(when/coz) it only makes me want you
only makes me want you more

you win the game…
yeah …yeah

[chorus]
You win the game, you have no shame
but it only makes me want you more
you win the game, you are to blame
(when/coz) it only makes me want you
only makes me want you more

[chorus]
You win the game, you have no shame
but it only makes me want you more
you win the game, you are to blame
(when/coz) it only makes me want you
only makes me want you more

three @ d' pantry

one of my fave places here in the office. why? not just because it signifies break time, but this is the place where my crush and i often bumps into one another.. well, crushes actually come to think of it, 3 guys has captured my interest here.. seems an interesting workplace to be

of the current three, one is good looking but currently angry, one is good looking but is currently affected by issues here at the office, and the other one is simple but in a way, commands authority. hmm... guys do really comes in different forms

Invisible

Artist: Clay Aiken
	Song: Invisible
	Whatcha’ doin’ tonight I wish I could be a fly on your wall Are you really alone Who's stealin' your dreams Why can't I bring you into my life What would it take to make you see that I'm alive [Chorus] If I was invisible Then I could just watch you in your room If I was invincible I'd make you mine tonight If hearts were unbreakable Then I could just tell you where I stand I would be the smartest man If I was invisible (Wait..I already am) Saw your face in the crowd I call out your name You don't hear a sound I keep tracing your steps Each move that you make Wish I could read what goes through your mind Wish you could touch me with the colors of your life [Chorus] If I was invisible Then I could just watch you in your room If I was invincible I'd make you mine tonight If hearts were unbreakable Then I can just tell you where I stand I would be the smartest man If I was invisible (Wait..I already am) I reach out But you don't even see me Even when I'm scream out Baby, you don't hear me I am nothing without you Just a shadow passing through... [Repeat Chorus] If I was invisible... If I was invisible... If I was invisible... If I was invisible... If I was invisible... If I was invisible...
